German MEP Marcus Pretzell: “The US was pushing the EU, especially, Germany to sanction Russia.”

In RT´s report about the Yalta International Economic Forum German MEP Marcus Pretzell (AfD) is critizising the EU sanctions against the Russian Federation:

“The US was pushing the EU, especially, Germany to sanction Russia. What happened is when we put sanctions on Russia the US business stepped into Russia,” German MEP Markus Pretzell, told RT.

Pretzell, who is a member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, slammed EU’s foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, for her recent comment that there would be no “business as usual” with Moscow.

“She’s a puppet of the EU and US establishment,” the European Parliament member said of Mogherini.
